Health & Safety Manager
Location: Gainsborough (Head Office and Manufacturing Site)
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 depending on experience
This is an opportunity to take ownership of health and safety across a business that operates from several locations throughout the UK. The head office and main manufacturing facility is based in Gainsborough, supported by offices in other regions. The Gainsborough site is a busy, hands-on environment where safety and compliance are critical, and where your influence will make a real difference.
We are looking for a Health and Safety Manager who can combine operational delivery with strategic leadership. You will be responsible for ensuring compliance across all sites, but equally important is your ability to engage with people at every level of the organisation. From the shop floor to senior management, you will build trust, promote best practice, and embed a culture where safety is second nature.
What will you be doing?
* Developing and maintaining a robust Health and Safety Management System that meets all regulatory requirements.
* Leading audits, inspections, and risk assessments, and driving continuous improvement.
* Investigating incidents and implementing corrective actions that prevent recurrence.
* Designing and delivering training that resonates with manufacturing teams and builds confidence.
* Promoting a proactive safety culture through engagement initiatives and clear communication.
What are we looking for?
* A strong background in manufacturing environments.
* NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent) as a minimum.
* The ability to engage and inspire, building trust and driving change.
* A logical, pragmatic mindset that turns compliance into common sense.
This is a role for someone who thrives on variety and impact. You will shape policy, deliver training, liaise with regulatory bodies, and influence senior leaders, all while championing a culture of safety and wellbeing.
Why join?
You will be part of a business that values expertise and collaboration. On offer is a competitive salary, and the chance to make a real difference across multiple sites. You will have the autonomy to shape our approach and the support of a leadership team that understands the importance of health and safety.
If you are ready to take health and safety beyond the rulebook and into the heart of a growing organisation, we would love to hear from you.
